A large and minimally excavated site that lies under the modern Aquisgrana industrial park in the eastern part of the city of La Carolina in Spain's Jaén province. Evidence indicates a temporal span for the site from at least the first century BCE to the late first century CE. The site may have served as a central foundry for metallic ore extracted from mines in and around La Carolina and Cerro del Plomo.
